Fall City Arts

06/16/2026

In preparation for the Fall City Days Parade, local Girl Scouts and some library patrons celebrated Dale Chihuly and the role that wind and water played in his art. We used this inspiration to talk about the role that wind and water play in the Snoqualmie Valley and its rural communities and to create our own “Fall City Glass” pieces.

Heating glass was a little dangerous in the library, so we settled for plastic. Everyone had such great creations as we colored and molded the plates, glasses, bottles, and condiment cups. Please share any pictures you took because I didn’t get many!

Finally! Fall City Arts online processes are back up and running! You can now contact us via email and submit all relevant forms for the Art in Nature Gallery.

Limitless thanks to everyone for their patience as we worked through the issue.

In March, we learned about the Pony Express and sent letters on the trail. Starting yesterday, we can watch the progress of our letters’ journeys online as they travel via horseback to us.

Hello Snoqualmie Valley Artists,

For those of you who have art to submit to the Fall City portion of Art in Nature, thank you for your patience as we work through our technical issues. They are still unresolved and so we are going to have to pivot from here to figure things out and get the installation in on time.

The initial emails from me have my phone number in them, please reach out that way, or a FB Message here. I'll contact you with the submission form and meeting place for the round.

As a reminder Fall City Arts is a completely volunteer-run organization with limited resources and time. Thank you for your patience as we try to navigate this inconvenience. My apologies for falling short in this endeavor. I am trying.

Our apologies, our email and website are experiencing technical difficulties, if you need to contact us, feel free to message through this platform. We will let you know when we are up and running again! Thank you :-)
